We had a great weekend with Mommo and Katherine. It has been snowing all weekend… our first big snow of the year. Yesterday while it was snowing, we took Thalia out on the deck so she could feel it. She grabbed some in her hand but was pretty indifferent. AL, Eve, and Mommo went to [...]
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. We had a great one. Thalia was a perfect angel during our meal. And the meal turned out great! I planned ahead and all the food came out perfectly. We had rosemary and lime turkey from the crock pot, homemade mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, homemade corn bread (from the crock pot!), [...]
Today I watched a video we got before Thalia was born on The American Sign Language. As most of you know, we plan on teaching her some basics so that we may communicate with her better before she can really talk. I can’t wait for her to start signing back. Right now we only give [...]
Thalia and I went to Lockheed’s Thanksgiving lunch yesterday so we could see AL after some Christmas shopping. It was a very cold day, so I dressed her up in her new jacket. This is what she looked like. No one could resist how so darn cute she was. And since she turns 5 months [...]
Today I discovered what is harder than raising a baby. Raising a baby with a migraine. Fortunately my migraines aren’t painful, just visual. It’s the first one I’ve had since I had Thalia. And it’s hard to handle her when I can barely see her. And Mommo, don’t get too excited about the scrapbooks. They’re [...]
The other day we went to see Scott and Michelle’s new baby, Joe. He’s so adorable. And he made Thalia seem big! Anywho, Michelle showed me a first-year calendar she kept for her first son, Robert. It inspired me to make a real scrapbook of Thalia’s pictures and events. It’s waay harder than just posting [...]
I finished my first skirt today. I used very delicate fabric and improvised a ton… and it actually turned out perfectly! YAY! The outer part of the skirt was from a pattern I bought. But the inner skirt (which is attached to the outer skirt) is improvised. The skirt. And with the new coat that [...]
We had a nice family visit last week. Now this week all is back to normal. Thalia is thriving. Yesterday we bought her 6-9 month pajamas and she already fits into them perfectly. She’s so long, I’m not sure how long they’re actually going to fit! She actually sleeps in her crib now and we [...]
Mom and Dad are in town this week and we’re all having fun… which means no time for posting. And I haven’t been taking many pictures. So I’ll regroup next week… maybe…
